Story

ZuZu is a lovely 2-1/2 year old female (possible) Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 19, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found her on State Route 555 in the Little Hocking Ohio area. ZuZu was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped. ZuZu has a white short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with hopeful innocent eyes, a black button nose, a square muzzle, and short floppy ears which are sprinkled with black spotting. This sweet girl has a friendly outgoing personality and loves attention. She appears to have had litters of puppies in her lifetime. ZuZu weighed 36 lbs when she entered our shelter and could easily gain several pounds to fill out her slim trim figure. ZuZu is fairly strong on a leash in spite of her size. These photos of ZuZu were taken on the afternoon of April 24th when HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard accompanied her for outdoor glamour pictures. ZuZu was such a 'good girl' and looked so cute in her heart-covered pink bandana. She thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention. ZuZu appears to be housetrained, so someone has surely loved ZuZu and cared about her. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, ZuZu was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for her, ZuZu can be fostered or fostered-to-adopt with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.

Story

Henry is a handsome 1-1/2 year old male Boxer/Terrier mix who was surrendered by his family on October 10, 2025. Henry was dearly loved by the family, but he had developed a bad habit of nipping/snapping at their children (and is the reason he was returned ..So we will a bit of Henry's background history with his current Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet listing: Henry made his original debut in our shelter when he was brought to the HSOV on July 1, 2024. Henry was an adorable 10-week old puppy at that time. Since there wasn't any location provided as to where he was found, it was unclear whether he was a stray or possibly an owner surrender. Henry had a brown short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute puppy face with dark brown eyes, black shading on his chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Henry weighed 7.5 lbs on July 4th when he scampered across the floor scales. This little playboy had a happy, outgoing personality and loved attention more than anything else in the world. Henry had typical puppy behavior and was always looking for mischief to get into during the chewing stage of his young life. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Henry was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for this baby boy, Henry went home with a foster family on July 24, 2024 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Henry was neutered on October 1, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He was adopted by his foster family later that afternoon. Henry enjoyed one-year+ in his adoptive home and was very much loved by the family. But when Henry began nipping/snapping at the children, they made the difficult decision to return him so that he could find a more appropriate home. These updated photos of Henry were taken on October 11th 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Hannah MClain and HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn accompanied him for outdoor pictures. Henry has matured into a magnificent young man. He has a stunning tan short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful chubby Boxer/Terrier face with brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a black button nose, and short semi-erect ears. Henry had not yet stepped on the scales for a weigh-in when these photos were taken, but an estimate would be that he weighs 60 lbs or so. Henry is very strong on a leash. He quickly obeyed the 'sit' command for several of his photos. Henry would likely benefit from some obedience/training classes and perhaps an experienced 'alpha' person to help him reach his full potential. Henry is a good dog who needs a little assistance to become the best dog (smile).

Bolt (Neutered)

Boxer Labrador Retriever

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bolt is an adorable 3-year old male Boxer/Labrador Retriever (??) mix who was brought to the HSOV late in the afternoon on August 19, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who had picked him up in the vicinity of the Kiwanis Club (Gilman Avenue in Marietta Ohio). Bolt was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This good-looking guy has a snow white coat, a patch of brown at the base of his long tail, and a beautiful face with soulful brown eyes, a black button nose on his cute long muzzle, and extra-large floppy ears. Bolt has a super sweet disposition and happy, outgoing 'Type A' personality. Bolt adored being the center of attention when we took preliminary photos in the shelter lobby shortly after his arrival. This little sweetheart was a pushover for attention when HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers spent time with him (and HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth offered him 'good boy' treats). Bolt appeared to have been accustomed to spending leisure time on a comfy sofa since he was quick to take the initiative to sit on HSOV Volunteer Wendy Jo Irvin's lap. Bolt is a wanna-be lap dog. Bolt weighs 31.8 lbs and could easily gain a few pounds to fill out his slim trim physique. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bolt will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Note: We've learned that Bolt is NOT good with cats. Bolt went home with a foster family on October 22, 2024 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered. Bolt was neutered by the foster family's veterinarian, and he was officially adopted by his foster family on November 19, 2024. Update: Bolt was picked up near the Washington Street Bridge in Marietta Ohio on April 11, 2025 by the Marietta Police Department and brought to HSOV. Fortunately Bolt had a microchip, and we were able to contact his adopted family and he was placed on a 14-day hold for them. Sadly, his family decided to surrender him back to our shelter instead of reclaiming him .. So Bolt is looking for a new family who will love/cherish him forever and ever. He is such a good boy!! Bolt weighed 52 lbs when he entered the shelter on April 11, 2025. Bolt went home with a foster family on May 27, 2025 who plans to adopt him if all goes well. Unfortunately Bolt was returned by his foster family on May 28th 2025. Update: Bolt went home with a foster family on July 27, 2025 who offered him the hospitality of a real home environment while he waits for his forever home (so that he doesn't have to be in a shelter kennel). Bolt is still available for adoption. If you would like to meet Bolt, please complete/submit an HSOV adoption application so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with your family.

Story

Astro is a handsome 4-1/2 year old male Boxer mix who arrived at HSOV on January 5, 2026 after he was picked up by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on Barnett Ridge Road in the Fleming Ohio area. Astro was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This good-looking guy has a dark brown/brindle short smooth coat with a large patch of white on his chest, white paws, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown 'teddy bear' eyes, black shading on his muzzle, and large dark brown floppy ears. Astro was rather shy when he first entered our shelter but within a few days he had warmed up to our HSOV shelter staff and kennel techs when he realized that he was indeed in good hands with folks who already loved him. These preliminary photos of Astro were taken in his large floor crate on January 11th, 2026. Astro weighs 49.2 lbs. He has already been neutered so someone once cared about him to have had that procedure done for Astro. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Astro was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came look for this 'good boy'. Since he is already neutered, Astro could go home with his new family immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application.

Story

Lucy is a beautiful 2-year old female Boxer mix who was brought to the HSOV on January 30, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who picked Lucy up (and also her good-looking brother Duke) after they were found on Dana's Run Road in the Newport Ohio area. Lucy has a black-and-white short smooth coat with an intriguing pattern, a long tail, and an adorable face with a large black "pirate's patch" around her left eye, a black button nose on her chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Lucy has a vivacious outgoing personality and was ready for 'action photos' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris accompanied her for outdoor glamour photos on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Lucy weighs 47.3 lbs and is surprisingly very strong on a leash since she isn't a very big girl when you see her in person. Lucy has already been spayed and was given rabies vaccine on February 14, 2023. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Lucy was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Neither Lucy nor Duke were reclaimed. We've learned that Lucy is selective about making friends with other dogs and chooses those that she likes or dislikes. Lucy does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in home where she would have contact with feline friends.

Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Precious is a 2-1/2 year old female American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 9, 2025 and placed in one of our outdoor kennels during the overnight hours. The individual(s) who left her there did not leave any information about her (or call the Washington County Ohio Sheriff's Department), so we don't know if she was an owner surrender or a stray. Precious was covered in fleas when we found her, so she immediately was given a nice soothing bath and received Nexguard treatment. She also had sparse hair (most likely due to a severe allergy or demodectic/non-contagious mange). Precious was a healthy weight (62 lbs) when she arrived on April 9th We posted a preliminary photo of Precious on our HSOV Facebook pages in hopes that someone would recognize her, but nobody called or came looking for her. Precious has a brown-and-white coat, a long tail, and a beautiful symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a liver-colored nose, and short floppy ears. These updated pictures of Precious were taken on May 8, 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard spent time with Precious during her photo session for her Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet debut. As with many dogs, Precious does not have a good 'kennel presence' (and is quite vocal) but when she is out of her floor crate/kennel she is a completely different dog. Precious loved attention from Jennie and our photographer while she posed for her first 'glamour photos'. Precious' fur is beginning to grow back in and she looks like a different girl than the one we first met on April 9th. We will plan on another photo session in a few weeks to show her progress, and we hope that potential adopters can envision her future appearance. It was touching to see Precious watching another dog being fostered-to-adopt and hopping it her new owner's car .. It was as if Precious were envisioning the day that this could be her going to a home of her very own. Precious will be spayed before she is officially adopted. She could be fostered while she awaits her spay procedure with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application. Update: Precious was spayed on July 16, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 63.9 lbs that day. Precious went home with a foster family on March 7, 2026 who offered her the hospitality of their home so that she could enjoy a real home environment 24/7 instead of being in a noisy shelter kennel. Precious will be treated like royalty while her foster family pampers/spoils her and gives her publicity on Facebook in order to help her find a fabulous home. If you are interested in offering Precious a forever home, please complete/submit an HSOV Adoption Application so that we may arrange an appointment with her wonderful foster family for you to meet this special girl.

Tabatha (Spayed)

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tabatha is a beautiful 4-year old female Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix who was brought to the HSOV on July 23, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden along with Tabatha's male companion (Kenny) who is most likely her brother. Tabatha has a white short smooth coat with large black patch on her left side and at the base of her long tail. Tabatha has the most adorable face and the nicest 'smile'. She appears to have borrowed an eyebrow pencil to enhance her black eyebrows but didn't have access to a mirror when she applied her makeup (smile). Tabatha has a slender muzzle and short black semi-erect ears. This little lovebug was a pleasure to photograph when HSOV Kennel Tech Cadince Bibbee accompanied her for outdoor glamour pictures on July 26, 2024. Tabatha displayed a sweet, cheerful personality and adored attention from Cadince. Tabatha wags her tail the moment you make eye contact with her (and looks up at you with hopeful eyes and her cute smile). Tabatha weighs 58 lbs and walked fairly well on a leash for Cadince. Tabatha and Kenny had an unfortunate incident which placed them on a 10-day bite quarantine when they were brought to our shelter. They have 'done their time' and have been great 'guests' in our shelter. Their owner decided to surrender them to our shelter, so they are now looking for a new home. Tabatha will be spayed before being adopted by her new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Update: Tabatha was spayed on December 3, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. She is ready to find her dream home with someone as special as she truly is. Tabatha's male companion (Kenny) has been neutered and is also still in our shelter and is looking for a fabulous home.
